Why are you spending so much time in this thread?

I only made two comments. One of it was a reply.

If you're interested for why I'm here - Some people were banned that have over time become familiar faces to me. Most recently Trigglypuff who has been here since the beginning and even helped to develop voat with bug reports and testing - you can still see her badges for that on her profile.

Now maybe hers was warranted for pointing out that your moderator uses the same username here as she does on youtube and twitter. In my opinion that's not doxing, that's almost like using your real name on voat. But she was a cunt towards your mods and you will probably not miss her as much.

But the others haven't doxed anyone and the rules they violated are not made clear.

Furthermore not too long ago our site admin said that voat is attracting government involvement and that he might be updating the canary for the last time. and finishes with "I have a feeling where this going to lead". Then he does a giveaway for VPNs and starts passionately talking about builders and destroyers. Not so passionately he rushes the warning or banning of people with a bad config file and is rather opaque and distant about it.

The canary of voat is almost useless anyway since puttitout updates it very infrequently, which as far as I can tell defeats the purpose of a canary. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warrant_canary)

I'm still willing to trust him since voat has been a sanctuary for radical free speech for years by now - but it does worry me. Does it now make sense to you that I'm interested in this?

Oh and people are paid to harass people.

Yes. But probably not close to the extend people in your community like to pretend.
